Every non-EU citizen who intends to work in the Netherlands is required to gain a valid work permit. Either the hand or their prospective employer may request for this permit, although it is the employer who makes the request, in most of the cases.
A work permit is valid only for the employer who makes the request and ceases, only when the hand leaves the job. There is no such general work permit present for the country, Netherlands.
Expats from within the EU, the EEA, the EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, or Switzerland are not required to obtain a work or hearthstone permit for the Netherlands, as the citizens of these nations have the right to freedom of movement within each other, which means that they are allowed to travel freely without having a visa.
The most recent member countries of the European Union, for whom the full freedom of movement came into effect in the year 2014, were Bulgaria and Romania. As per the year 2018, July 1; the people from Croatia no longer require a Dutch work permit to work in the Netherlands.
Expats also do not require any work permit in order to perform certain types of work for short ages of time on an occasional basis, similar to press service staff, musicians and visiting speakers, etc. All other foreigners will require a permit of some kind to work in the country.
Various kinds of work permit that mainly applies to the Netherlands are given under:
There are also many other situations in which non-EU expats may work in the Netherlands without applying for any of the below mentioned work permits.
From the beginning of April 1, 2014, all the expats who intend to work in the Netherlands are free to apply for the GVVA or a single permit, or TWV work permit and also the hearthstone permit.
The GVVA or a single permit consists of a Dutch hearthstone permit along with a fresh document stating for which employer the foreign public is permitted to work and under which conditions. The GVVA is granted for workers and trainees from outside the EEA and Switzerland, who wish to stay in the Netherlands for further than three months.
Before filing a GVVA work permit operation, an employer must be able to show that sweats have taken place to retain a suitable hand in the Netherlands and European Union. Only after these reclamation sweats haven’t led to a suitable seeker can and an employer can start looking for workers outside the EU.
The operation for a GVVA should be submitted to the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Department, abbreviated as IND, generally by the prospective employer. The applicable operation documents can be downloaded from their official website.
Once the figure has been paid and all the necessary forms have been submitted, the IND will ask the UWV, a Dutch social security agency, to advise if the prospective hand would be allowed to live and work in the country. This assessment of UWV is grounded on the criteria of the Aliens Employment Act.
The IND will make its decision based on the advice from the UWV. However, the IND will inform the employer, only if the decision taken is positive and GVVA is issued. As and when the GVVA is available, the employer will be notified by the IND that the foreign hand can pick up both documents in person.
It may also be possible that the UWV will communicate with either the employer or the hand directly during the operation process to clarify some aspect of the operation.
Some people who wish to work in the Netherlands can not admit a GVVA, similar to scholars, shelter campaigners, seasonal workers, workers transferred within a transnational group, workers who come for an outside of three months and Croatian citizens. These individuals need to request a TWV work permit independently from the UWV.
The GVVA single permit is also applicable to all the people who are coming to the Netherlands to gain work experience, either for study or work purposes, and people enrolled in the Canadian Young Workers Exchange Program, abbreviated as YWEP. In this case, generally it is the employer who makes the operation for a work permit.
The largely professed emigrant scheme, also known as the kennismigrant is designed to allow Dutch employers to bring talented foreign professionals to the Netherlands and also retain them.
This means that the employers in the country can organize Dutch work permits snappily for largely professed transnational workers, without proving that there are no suitable Dutch or EU campaigners present there.
To qualify for a largely professed emigrant work permit in the Netherlands, the transnational aspirants generally need to follow below stated specifications:
Foreign citizens from countries other than Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, Suriname, Switzerland and the United States of America need to clear a test for TB within three months after the hearthstone permit has been issued. Also the mates and children of largely professed settlers are allowed to work in the country.
The EU blue card is a kind of residence permit for highly qualified employers, especially graduates of third-country nationals in the European Union. In order to become qualified for an EU blue card, you need to have a job offer that is legally binded and has a valid contract of a minimum period of one year.
In this type of work permit, also the same individual conditions are applied as in the highly skilled migrants. There are currently no real benefits of applying for an EU blue card instead of a highly skilled migrant permit for those who intend to stay in the Netherlands.
This is for the reason that the Dutch operation process for highly skilled migrants is among the most favorable that allows skilled labor to enter and work in the EU. Also, in this work permit the agreed minimum salary is much lower.
Nonetheless, the holders of an EU blue card, along with their families are allowed to migrate to another nation under EU to accept another highly qualified post, in accordance with the directive of EU blue card after 18 months of legal residency in the country, only if they want to move around the EU.
Individuals who would like to come to the Netherlands to start their own company will need to apply for a residency permit for self-employment. Entrepreneurs must be in ownership of all the relevant permissions for the operation of the business, additionally to meeting all the standards for the implementation of their job which is to be considered for this permit.
In addition to it, their commercial activity must represent that it benefits the country significantly. This is put to the test by experts in a miniseries produced by the Dutch government. For instance, the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science will offer advice in case of selecting an artist, but the IND will typically consult the Ministry of Economic Affairs. To decide, a scoring system is employed and points are granted by following the specific rules.
For non-European scholars who requires a hearthstone permit to study, the following labor countersign appears on the reverse of the permit. TWV work permit is required for fresh work, and other work that are not permitted.
This means that if a scholar wish to work, he need to apply for a TWV work permit, basically from the UWV and also may work for a period of 16 hours or more per week during the academic time or full-time during the summer months, from June, July till August
Yes, you are allowed to work voluntarily in the country by having a work permit or a TWV volunteer declaration. Also this declaration is considered sufficient for working voluntarily. This protestation is valid for three times. Organizations, similar to NGOs, are allowed to apply for the volunteer declaration via the UWV.
